I'm sorry for my absence lately, Dearies, but the level of out of whack-ness here at CS2 has reached levels heretofore not seen before. I'm fine and JB is fine...we are both happy, healthy, and managing not to get ourselves into too much mischief...but Yours Truly is just schlumping around like a schlumpadink on schlumpy steroids.

I can't seem to get out of my own way.

I'm reading and cooking and cleaning and journaling and doing the things that need doing, but I haven't picked up my needle in weeks, it seems, nor have I played with any diamond painting or coloring...or anything, really.

So if you'll bear with me for a minute, I'll get my act together and will come back with a big cup of fresh damn good and more tales to tell.

In the meantime, what's new with you?

  1. I always miss you when you are absent. I hope your needle fingers and diamond painting hands return soon. Other than that, sounds like you are taking care of business!

  2. Go with your flow, if you don’t feel like stitching, that's perfectly OK. Sometimes we need a break and a recharge.

  3. I certainly go through phases like that. Other things that demand my time and attention, and I'm content with that. And then I start dreaming of what stitches are appropriate in some project and I know it's time to get back to it. I'd be perfectly happy with updates on your activities that aren't always stitching etc. I'm here for YOU not just your needlework!

  4. I'm here for it all and not just the stitching. Glad to hear you are fine and are in a reading mode along with other things mode. Thinking of you, Coni! Happy Friday!

  5. I look forward to your updates and humor. It's not just about our crafts. Three weeks of sinus infection slowed me down a lot. Still hot here in northern VA but fall is coming.

  6. When I feel guilty looking at all my half finished pieces, yet I’d rather read, or watch Netflix, or go on vacation, I remind myself “it’s a hobby, not a job.” It’s supposed to be fun. So if you have lost interest for a while, don’t stress.

  7. The artistic flow will become fun and stimulating again before you know it... in the meantime, you certainly have not lost your "make
    time count" demeanor. Happy to hear life for you both is moving
    along well.

  8. I love that, we forget “it’s a hobby not a job!” I sometimes feel like I should get a job, to support my hobby!! But I’m retired. Can’t do that.

  9. Hi there,

    I wanted to share an important health testimonial that may help people seeking alternative treatment options. My name is Dylan Brandon from the UK. I was once a vaginal cancer and herpes patient, and at one point I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor and vaginal cancer. My doctor recommended Dr Jekawo Herbal Remedy and explained how he uses herbal medicines to treat a wide range of illnesses. At that point I was desperate and decided to contact Dr Jekawo by email after watching his documentary.

    After explaining my situation, Dr Jekawo provided details about how his remedies work and how to purchase them through his website, [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). A week later the herbal medicines were shipped to me via courier. I followed the treatment for three weeks and experienced a full recovery from my brain tumor and vaginal cancer. The results were so remarkable that friends of mine with breast and prostate cancer also reached out to Dr Jekawo for treatment, and they too report being cured with his herbal medicines.

    If you or someone you know is interested in contacting Dr Jekawo, his email is [drjekawo@gmail.com] and his website is [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). He states that he can treat a wide range of conditions including bladder cancer, brain cancer, HIV, herpes, esophageal cancer, gallbladder cancer, gestational trophoblastic disease, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, intestinal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, HPV, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, adrenal cancer, bile duct cancer, bone cancer, multiple myeloma, neuroendocrine tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, sinus cancer, hepatitis A/B/C, skin cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, wart removal, lupus, spinal cancer, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, throat cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine cancer, fibroid, angiopathy, ataxia, arthritis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), fibromyalgia, fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, Alzheimer disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson disease, adrenocortical carcinoma, infectious mononucleosis, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer.

    I hope this information reaches those in need and offers an avenue to explore further options.
